Monday, October 25: End of Term One

Tuesday, October 26: Schools Closed for Students- Teacher Work Day

Wednesday, November 24- Friday, November 26: Schools and Offices Closed for Thanksgiving Break

Students and staff will dress as their favorite book character. All costumes should be school appropriate. Please no scary masks or look alike weapons. Students must still wear a face covering per FCPS protocol. Students should come to school in the costume and plan to wear all day. We will not be changing during the day in the building.

Due to contact tracing concerns:

*Only Fall Festival Chairs will be present as volunteers.

*No food will be provided.

Parents are encouraged to notify the school on the day their child is absent. A note stating the reason for absence or lateness is required upon the student’s return, or the absence is automatically classified as unlawful until an approved note is provided. FCPS Regulation 400-98 mandates that a school letter be mailed when a student accumulates 3 days of unlawful absences in any marking term. These letters will be sent from MYES next week.

Anytime your child will be absent from school, please either send in a handwritten note or you can email MYES.Attendance@fcps.org. If you'd like to include your child's teacher in the email as a courtesy, it would be appreciated.

Absences considered lawful and therefore excused, as described in the Public School Laws and Code of Bylaws of the Maryland State Board of Education, are:

• Illness of the student
• Death in the immediate family
• Court summons
• Hazardous weather condition
• Work or activity accepted by the school authorities
• Observance of religious holiday up to 3 days
• State emergency
• Suspension
• Lack of authorized transportation
• Health exclusion
• Other emergency (judgment of Superintendent or designee)

Students who take trips with their parents may be excused no more than twice during a year for a combined maximum of five days.

We are in our last leg of the Race for Education! The Race will be held on Friday, October 22nd. Please make sure to visit the website at this LINK to check out the prizes for the top ten earners and classes as well as the leaderboards.

Frederick County Public Schools, Food and Nutrition Services announces participation in the Seamless Summer Option (SSO) for the 2021-2022 school year. SSO is part of the National School Breakfast and National School Lunch Program and has been approved by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to allow all children enrolled at Frederick County Public Schools to receive meals for free.

We encourage families to complete the free and reduced-price meal benefits application even though all children receive meals at no charge because the USDA provides funds that support the nutrition program based on your child’s eligibility. Eligibility for free or reduced-price meal reimbursement is based on the following annual income eligibility guidelines effective from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. Free and reduced-price meal benefits are available at all Frederick County Public Schools. Online and printable applications can be found at www.fcps.org/meals.

Myersville Elementary is a place where students and staff are engaged learners. They feel safe to take risks and all contributions are valued. Here we have fun while we learn in our school community.
